Learn the fundamentals of home performance and the importance of the combustion equipment in the home. The curriculum we have developed is heavily detailed to the heating appliance and how it interacts with the building. This includes an in-depth study of the building envelope and how to identify energy saving upgrades in all areas of the building.

Our curriculum will prepare participants for the Building Performance Institute (BPI) written and field exams. We will study proper methodology for finding air leaks, identifying energy thieves, and will clearly illustrate how such improvements will save energy. The use of a blower door will be thoroughly explained and each participant will go into the field and perform testing on a building of their choosing. We will also explore indoor air quality requirements and proper testing for air changes and humidity control.

This intensive and comprehensive course is a blend of classroom training and hands-on field training. The first week of training will consist of classroom study and discussion at our facility (MTEC) in Brunswick. The following week, participants will devote two days to applying what they've learned in the classroom out in the field and take the field exam.

Upon completion of our BPI Certification Training for the Energy Conservation Technician, your technicians will be prepared to identify problems, their root causes and how to fix them without interfering with the rest of the building and its systems.
